Spiritual Brainspotting to heal CPTSD and trauma including child sex abuse. #brainspotting #heal #traumahelp #cptsd
Im sure any form of #ptsd sucks, but #cptsd really fucking does. Now gonna go over my "im grateful for" lists, because lately the real world feels as doomed as my mental model, which is its own fuckedupness 🫠 but here's a video of me "sneaking up" on a couple of ducks at the park last week as tax😅
Your nervous system doesn't heal just because time has passed. It heals when something safe and loving happens enough times for it to finally believe ... it's over now.
#HealingHearts
Healing from abuse takes time. A lot of time. It wasn't until I grasped just how much had been done, repeatedly, to fracture my soul that I saw it would take multiple positive experiences to finally feel safe.
You are worth the effort. 💐

Crown of What Remains is a meditation on the fragile illusion of power and permanence. The skull, stripped of identity yet crowned in ornate splendor, becomes a quiet contradiction—authority resting upon absence. The jeweled crown, once a symbol of dominion and legacy, now clings to something that cannot rule, cannot remember, cannot resist time. Around it, the scene deepens the narrative: the spilled wine suggests indulgence cut short, its dark stain echoing both ritual and ruin. The roses, lush yet fading, carry the weight of beauty already slipping toward decay. Candlelight flickers in the background—not as hope, but as a reminder that even light is temporary. This piece draws from the tradition of vanitas, confronting the viewer with an unflinching truth: all grandeur dissolves, all moments pass. What remains is not power, nor possession—but the quiet, inevitable stillness that follows. Art copyright ©Yves Broeckx This is digitally created art concept and execution by Yves
I V A N I T A S - 1 - I
- Crown of what remains -
A crown outlives the king.
A sip outlives the feast.
What we chase turns to silence—and still, it gleams.

If anyone here relates to childhood #Bullying, #CPTSD, #ADHD, #neurodivergence, #anxiety, or other emotional/mental disability, could you drop a small word of wisdom or comfort?
I'm really struggling.
Thank you.

I hate crying in therapy.
Not because I'm embarrassed, but I'd rather use the (expensive!) time to talk rather than cry. I can cry at home! 😭😂
But also I can't cry AND talk. Its like I'm gagging myself with emotion.

Finding myself stuck in my #cptsd trauma now for at least a week, I finally feel like myself moving forward.
Had to turn my back on someone I was enabling, in some way, for decades. Most of the wake is emotional, but it co$t me. Lesson finally learned.
Square one never felt so good.
I see your pain, and it's big. I also see your courage, and it's bigger. You can do hard things. - Glennon Doyle
#HealingHearts
I want to acknowledge the people who are on a healing path after surviving abuse. I know the deep pain & loneliness.
Your pain may feel unbearable but you're making progress. Try to trust the process. Healing happens, but yes, it hurts.

Was thinking about the fact that this is the first time in my life when I haven't been in survival crisis mode. It's actually really hard to function without cortisol and adrenaline when you've been hyper vigilant all your life. #CPTSD
For everyone, like me, who has a really goddamn *loud* Inner Critic constantly buzz buzz buzzing in your head about things you've said and done, listen to Dr. Doyle 👇.
Recovery begins when, more & more, you tell said Inner Critic to STFU. Stop prosecuting yourself for imaginary past crimes. #cPTSD

If I don't sleep, tomorrow will never come, it will just be a continuation of today, which means I won't have to go through this shit again, because it will never stop, which means it will never restart, this is my logic, because I don't think I can handle another day of this.

Helloowww new friendsI am new here and I wanna meet other artists and become friends/moots!! Let’s support each other!! 🧡 I am 23, I got autism and CPTSD. I’ll follow back and don’t hesitate to pm me <3 (INFP)

man...cptsd sucks.😿 I spent all of last night & all of today into the evening, trapped in a mind prison in bed- so full of cortisol that I was shaking & couldn't even sleep it away. I wish we had real help not just either "suck it up" or get thrown in a mental hospital & put on drugs. #cptsd
Any other queer people who feel so far behind life milestones and every cishet in your life is established in their lives or married?
I feel like I’m in a window watching the other kids play outside. I was robbed of my core self and forced to kinsugi my soul.
#lgbtq #queer #trauma #cptsd
one of the loudest, shrillest people conceivable is on the bus, screaming "OI OIIIIIII!!" into their phone every few seconds like damn overused commas
as an #autistic person with #CPTSD who is extremely sensitive to sudden loud sounds, this is my personal hell. I've died and gone to hell
#AuDHD
When sh*t memories arise, recovery means no longer slipping into despair & shame, but becoming an empathetic witness to "that kid" who needed care & protection.
It’s not about changing the past, that can’t happen, it’s about disrupting patterns & changing self-condemnation into compassion.❤️🩹
#cptsd
A faceless male figure stands suspended between presence and absence. His form is barely held together—arms raised, not in triumph, but in quiet collapse. The body is suggested through frantic, smudged strokes, as if it’s trying to remember itself. Where the face should be, there is only a consuming void—dense, impenetrable, swallowing identity whole. The shoulders feel heavy, almost dissolving under an unseen weight. The torso bleeds downward into streaks of black, like something inside him is leaking out—emotion, memory, self. The figure is not screaming, yet everything about it feels like a silent rupture. This piece explores the moment when a person no longer recognizes who they are—when identity erodes, leaving only shape and shadow behind. It is not death, but something quieter: the disappearance of self while still standing. There’s a moment where you don’t break — you just… fade.

A study of identity slipping into absence. Not loss, not death — just the quiet erasure of self.

psst. hey. it wasn't the trauma that made you stronger, kinder, and more empathetic. it's how you handled it. that credit is yours.
#HealingHearts
I often hear that the trauma and abuses I endured made me stronger, and I guess that makes sense. Slowly however, I began to see that the strength comes from the work we put in.
We get the credit for our growth. 🌷

🎯🏆 re the impact of politics on those with #cPTSD.
Now, try to imagine all this on someone for whom politics caused actual, direct, & long-term trauma as well as being an indirect symbol of something else. (That doubly screwed person is me, lol.) #PoliticsAndMentalHealth

A close-up view looking from the ground up & in slightly foreshortened positioning at an enormous, thick tree trunk that was uprooted and split apart by heavy lightning. The dry bark is heavily textured, knobby, gnarled, and a dark, dusty brown in colour. The exposed inner wood is a honeycomb yellow orange in colour; the shredded wood fills up much of the bottom third of the screen. In the background, the green leafy tops of a tree are visible against a grey sky filled with storm clouds.

A fav. quote since age 15 re trauma & abuse. +Fair summation of my life.
